Wayne,
   I used to have the same problem with my hopped up 327, I did purchase a 
high torque starter for it and it did make a difference. Before at times i 
could hit the starter and feel like the battery was weak but it eventually 
would turn over at a higher speed. The high torque starter is a bit more 
expensive but sure did solve my problem.   --wayne
